    I mean, there isn’t much.

    IIRC, Lara finds him injured, puts a splint on his leg, fights off some wolves, and then he bleeds out and dies.

    I remember him because in the few interactions he has with Lara, he’s super supportive, reminding her she knows all the things she might need to know about surviving… etc. They’re good interactions.

    It’s super obvious they are close, that Conrad has unwavering faith in Lara’s competence, while she looks up to him as a formative presence in her life.

    Basically a really good setup for a character relationship with lots of detail to explore and potential for fun future antics and development… Which all gets ditched immediately.

    All the starting ingredients for a series-spanning character like Sully were there, and went unused.

      Yeah. That does seem wasteful. Curious what they’ll do with the franchise now. I haven’t finished the reboot series but I think Shadow was confirmed to be the last one?
